Abstract
We empirically analyse the trend characteristics of per capita CO2 emissions in
OECD countries from 1971 to 2009. We use a statistically robust procedure,
which is valid regardless of whether per capita CO2 emissions are trend stationary
or contain a stochastic trend, to test for the presence of a deterministic trend and a
structural break in the trend. Our results suggest that the trend in per capita CO2
emissions shifts downward or is reversed for a number of OECD countries either
after the 1970s oil shocks or during the early- to mid-2000s.
